Carnegie job a real good dill

The Carnegie Deli, which was forced to close in April after it was caught illegally siphoning gas from Con Ed, will hold interviews for its firstever pickle mascot on Wednesday ahead of its reopening next month.

“Applicants can be green, as in inexperienced, or seasoned just like Carnegie’s delicious real pickles,” deli spokeswoman Cristyne Nicholas told The Post. “And no salty language, please; it’s a family establishment.”

Maria and Sarri Harper, coowners of the Midtown eatery, hatched the idea.

They said they never considered any other character to be their mascot because pickles are an “essential” part of every gutbusting Carnegie meal.

The mascot will pass out pickles while dressed in a green body suit with white clown hands and could do doubleduty as a waiter, Nicholas said, adding the deli will take suggestions for the mascot’s name.

The deli posted ads for the job outside its Seventh Avenue eatery and online.

Matthew Sacks, 23, plans to apply for the gig.

“A pickle — that’s American,” the Queens resident said. “When you bite into a pickle, there’s not a better sensation.” Chris Perez
